[clfswm-devel] CLFSWM licence change?

[Stayvoid]

Hello!

Aad, you was misinformed about GPLv3. You've objected to problems that
don't really exist. GPL defends freedom for all users, and GPLv3 does
the job better.

Philippe, the simplicity of those licenses is a bad thing. Those don't
protect people from some legal tricks:

Please stick with the GNU GPL 3 (or any later version).

I've also talked with rms via email. If you have any concerns about
the GPLv3 you can talk with him.
